Day 186/365 (January 19, 2015)

Woke up with Fred and Charlie Kitty action. Forced myself out to the gym and got stopped by Zach Rance from Big Brother 16 in Times Square asking me what Zankie was. I won't lie I was super excited! Later I headed down to ROckwood to see Eric Michael Krop and Joey COntreras do their music... It was lovely then hung out for a touch after. I also took a better picture of the its only a play double marquee.

Day 46/365 (September 1, 2014)

Another crazy early morning. I had to get up to get on a 6:45 am train to Boston. Then i walked from North Station to South Station (while pausing in Faneuil Hall for some breakfast. I was at South Station way earlier than I needed to be but it was either that or take the next train which would have gotten in after my bus was supposed to leave, I was hoping to get standby on an earlier bus, which thankfully (despite potential revolt) I was able to get on the 10:30. The bus made great time until we got stuck outside of Macy's for a really ong time. After about 15 minutes or so I knew something strange was up because our driver parked the bus and came back to us the bus bathroom! He then told us all he would let us off there. We had no idea why until we were off the bus. I went to walk towards 7th and the entire area was blocked off. The police officer there said there a bomb threat so they couldn't let anyone through and I watched a giant double decker tourist bus trying to turn around to drive out while my poor bolt bus and one other waited their turn to do the same.

I was able to walk home using 6th and unpacked and ate and then got the air mattress ready for Andrey. I then met up with him and did some arts and crafting.

Later i got ready and met up with o Ann since we were going to 54 Below to see Grind: The concert. I knew nothing about the movie or its music but Eric Michael Krop, Anthony Rapp, and Natalie Weiss were performing so that's why I went. Eric even got to perform a few of his personal songs... seriously that dude is insane!  Then I stayed for sMASHed Up... Ben's mash up concert. Andrey and Rachel joined me for that and let me tell you it was cray! Not only did Ben create incredible song arrangements but the performers were just unreal! There were several BIO people which made m happy, including Taylor who has returned to NY (at least for now).. Those videos will become popular! Zach came to it also so we chatted after for a bit. I went home and didn't get to sleep until well after 2... oops!

Day 36/365 (August 22, 2014)

I got up surprisingly early considering how late I came in last night! Then it was off to work, then home to watch Lola... Only it turned out I wasn't watching Lola so it just ended up being some down time before heading to the gym before meeting Travis for my training session. I also got to open up my favorite toothpaste... it is Crest and full of cinnamon wonderfulness! I have looked high and low for it and thought they stopped making it until I found it in Maine! I also went to Grand Central because they were doing a "picnic in Vanderbilt hall" They had fake grass and picnic tables set up, then had the casts of Pippin, Motown, Cinderella, and Chicago come perform. I found out about it last minute because Ari tweeted she was doing it. It was enjoyable and this cut dad/little girl were right by me and their conversation was melting my heart. I really do need to see Cinderella though because I love the music so much!

Training was rough as always, but I always push through. Travis tells me that I am tough which always makes me chuckle because aside from this I am so not... I can't handle pain so I end up a whiny baby when sick or hurt, but I don't let that affect me during training and do whatever he tells me to do. I then hobbled home and thought I was in for the night until I saw that Mom Salem was in NYC. She is someone truly special to me. She had a major impact on my life and I haven't seen her in like 9 years or so. She was only in town for a few more hours so at 10 pm I hopped in the shower, then headed down to her hotel to meet her. We went to a rooftop bar and chatted and caught up on each other's lives before heading down to Mostly Sondheim. We ended up staying there until 3 am! It was Colleen and Eric Krop and Brian J. Nash and she had a blast! As we were leaving Eric shouted "I love you" haha. Then I dropped her off at her hotel and headed home. On the way I ran into Imani, so we chatted for quite a bit before finally both heading home... by the time I got home it was 4 am, and I still had to get ready for bed!
